Being British is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home,
grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab to enjoy whilst sitting on Swedish furniture and
watching American shows on a Japanese TV oh and the most most British thing of all? being
suspicious of anything foreign. Britishness like individuals are a mass of contradictions, we are what
we think we are and ultimately there is nothing wrong with that if it inspires that sense of
community and collective bond that patriotism can.

Prejudice:
Discrimination:
Stereotype:
Racism = The belief that the colour of a persons skin, or their race, determines their ability. Belief
that some races are better than others
When I joined the Police here, I was the first and only black officer in town, and still am
the only one. It was clear that there were certain people who didnt like being told what to
do by a black officer. Subsequently, I found myself rolling about on the floor with them!
They were trying to test my authority, and I made a deal with myself that I wouldnt stand
for it. Certainly back in 1991, it wasnt good for me as an officer. I would get called all
sorts of names by certain elements of society, but its not so bad now. Generally, the lads
around town know me, and I know them, and they know I wont stand for it.
I havent really experienced as much racism as some black officers in the County. My
worst experience was when I was playing a football match between Northamptonshire
Police and West Mercia Police in about 1996/97. I was called something quite unsavoury by
another player from the West Mercia team. He was sent off, and it went to a disciplinary
hearing within West Mercia Police. Their Chief Constable at the time found that there was
no proven case, despite other people on my team saying what happened, and the referee
also confirming that he had heard it and had sent him off straight away with no dispute.
Even officers from West Mercia confirmed that he said what he was alleged to have said.
However, this person managed to get a black Special Officer to say that he was a fine
upstanding member of the shift, and that ever since he had been working for the West
Mercia Police he had not had any problems. For reasons best known to himself, the Chief
Constable of West Mercia Police bought it. He didnt make a strong decision the right
one would have been to get rid of him.

Sexism means: Prejudice or discrimination against people, especially women, because of their
sex.
Women have fought very hard in the UK to win equal rights with men. This has meant that an
employer cannot discriminate between men or women. Women must be given the same pay and
opportunities as men. Also women have the same voting rights as men and opportunities to
work in parliament. Does this mean that men and women are totally equal in the UK.
Discuss with your tutor.
Are there jobs that men or women could do better than the other?
Can you name some positive role models from films, tv, real life ? Write some examples here and discuss
and explain why you have chosen them.
